^^Im putting my bet down for this statement eventhough the time of day is hard to get there sometimes.

I've always LOVED Barrier. I felt that the extra cost on the purchase side justified the superior customer service, convenience and free car wash. They recently refused a courtesy loaner car for warranty work (on a vehicle that I did not purchase from them). I thought that was a little petty since I've bought 4 cars from them and have been having vehicles service there for over 10 years. Kinda ticked me off, but I can understand their position.

So, when I decided to check out ordering a Panamera, I called a friend and asked for his recommendation. He unreservedly recommended Byron Sprague at Roger Jobs in Bellingham, and so I gave him a call. WOW. Roger Jobs (both Byron and his sales manager David Tucker) really have their "feces coagulated" in the sales department. Spec'd out a Panamera the way I would like it and they entered it into the build system for November build. They mentioned that when it comes to service they can pick up the car from the office here, drop off a loaner, and bring the car back serviced (all on truck, so no miles added). I don't know whether I'll go through with the Panamera purchase, and I made sure to tell them that, but it is a possibility if it has that "gotta have it"-factor behind the wheel...

Well, are you planning to come to the Panamera introduction next week? I plan to go to this VIP invitation only event. It might be worth a shot to get some time behind the "wheel" to see if that "gotta have it" factor exists still.

BTW, I loved your "feces coagulated" comment. That had me
